Well I'll admit LordKelvin isn't pretty nice for a mod but before you fully criticize him, try to be in his shoes who has to put up these things everyday and he has done homework for the guys so nobody else has to, not to mention I assume he isn't getting paid to do this so he'll naturally get cranky as time passes. I'm not exactly saying you should be forgiving, but just be sympathetic to his job.
Aside from that, Well I have not much experience with Subs but let me warn you that tactics and play style from a sub is very different and to those who are used to manual aiming and such will find them very frustrating to play at first. I'd rather not recommend subs for newbies but then the ASW side has problems too.
In General, subs are fun ships but you will not learn much to how it truly means to play NF.
Battleships on the other hand, is where it's at, whether CV or BB, both can offer great learning experiences. BB lines are more of the muscle man, training you to survive and self-reliance yet working with your team mates. For the case of the UK, this is their main strength, Lion II anyone? Overall, the BB lines will teach the core basics of how to actually play ships just from DD-CA. Pursue further, and you'll learn to play smart. It is also 'cheap' to get since you ahve the default crew for one at the start.
CV lines are as they say, fighting ladies of the navy. Though they mostly are support, they can be arguably turn the tide of the battle. While not as brutal as a BB, CVs, like any girl you meet, should be treated some respect. It takes alot of concentration, multi-task and micromanagement much like your everyday housewife to run this ship class, not to mention hella expensive. On the flip side, you get more paid than a BB.
I'll would recommend you BB if only to make things easier for your experience in the RN and NF in general but to truly excel at using ships (or before you start whining how lame this ship class is)...try the KM line.
